Portland, Maine, Sept. 5, 2013—SPAR Point Group, organizer of International LiDAR Mapping Forum (ILMF), which is taking place in Denver, USA, February 17-19, 2014, has announced a Call for Papers and invites any interested parties to submit their abstracts by September 20 online here.

The ILMF Technical Committee will peer review each abstract and the final program will be announced in November.

ILMF set a new record for attendees in February 2013, when more than 850 professionals from 30 different countries turned up in droves for the 13th annual event. This proved once again that LiDAR, in its increasing variety of operational formats either alone or when complementing other technologies, is becoming the technology of choice for fast, accurate and quality geospatial data acquisition. Whether supporting highly detailed 3D urban mapping projects, forestry management, or railroad and power transmission line maintenance programs, LiDAR technology delivers the results needed by today's demanding geospatial and mapping professionals.

The International LiDAR Mapping Forum will be managed by SPAR Point Group as an event separate from its SPAR conferences.
